SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO BE A WOMAN
GIVING ALL YOUR LOVE TO JUST ONE MAN
YOU'LL HAVE BAD TIMES
AND HE'LL HAVE GOOD TIMES
DOIN' THINGS THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
BUT IF YOU LOVE HIM YOU'LL FORGIVE HIM
EVEN THOUGH HE'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND
AND IF YOU LOVE HIM OH BE PROUD OF HIM
'CAUSE AFTER ALL HE'S JUST A MAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN
GIVE HIM TWO ARMS TO CLING TO
AND SOMETHING WARM TO COME TO
WHEN NIGHTS ARE COLD AND LONELY
STAND BY YOUR MAN,
AND SHOW THE WORLD YOU LOVE HIM
KEEP GIVING ALL THE LOVE YOU CAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN
AND SHOW THE WORLD YOU LOVE HIM
KEEP GIVING ALL THE LOVE YOU CAN
STAND BY YOUR MAN

HERE COMES A WAVE
MEANT TO WASH ME AWAY
A TIDE THAT IS TAKING ME UNDER
SWALLOWING SAND
LEFT WITH NOTHING TO SAY
MY VOICE DROWNED OUT IN THE THUNDER
BUT I WON'T CRY
AND I WON'T START TO CRUMBLE
WHENEVER THEY TRY
TO SHUT ME OR CUT ME DOWN
I WON'T BE SILENCED
YOU CAN'T KEEP ME QUIET
WON'T TREMBLE WHEN YOU TRY IT
ALL I KNOW IS I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
'CAUSE I'LL BREATHE
WHEN THEY TRY TO SUFFOCATE ME
DON'T YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
WRITTEN IN STONE
EVERY RULE, EVERY WORD
CENTURIES OLD AND UNBENDING
STAY IN YOUR PLACE
BETTER SEEN AND NOT HEARD
BUT NOW THAT STORY IS ENDING
'CAUSE I
I CANNOT START TO CRUMBLE
SO COME ON AND TRY
TRY TO SHUT ME AND CUT ME DOWN
I WON'T BE SILENCED
YOU CAN'T KEEP ME QUIET
WON'T TREMBLE WHEN YOU TRY IT
ALL I KNOW IS I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
SPEECHLESS
LET THE STORM IN
I CANNOT BE BROKEN
NO, I WON'T LIVE UNSPOKEN
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
TRY TO LOCK ME IN THIS CAGE
I WON'T JUST LAY ME DOWN AND DIE
I WILL TAKE THESE BROKEN WINGS
AND WATCH ME BURN ACROSS THE SKY
AND IT ECHOES SAYING I
WON'T BE SILENCED
NO YOU WILL NOT SEE ME TREMBLE WHEN YOU TRY IT
ALL I KNOW IS I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
SPEECHLESS
'CAUSE I'LL BREATHE
WHEN THEY TRY TO SUFFOCATE ME
DON'T YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME
'CAUSE I KNOW THAT I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
ALL I KNOW IS I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
SPEECHLESS
